January: the time for resolutions we probably won't keep, and also...new movies! Time to escape the post-holiday blues (and questionable weather) with some cinematic adventures. Let's peek at what's coming to a theater near you in the first month of the year.
Action-Packed Adventures
First up, we've got some thrills for the action junkies. Get ready for *some* explosions and edge-of-your-seat moments. Think of it as a way to burn off those extra Christmas cookies...but without any actual exercise.
While it was released in December 2021, The King's Man kept up the action into January. It's a prequel to the *Kingsman* movies we all love. This time, they go all the way back to World War I.
Get ready for sharp suits and even sharper fighting skills. It’s a proper origin story on how the independent intelligence agency came to be. Plus, who doesn't love a historical spy movie with a modern twist?
Thrills and Chills
Need something to keep you up at night? January has you covered. Sometimes, a good scare is just what we need to wake us up after all that holiday relaxation.
You could watch Scream. It's bringing back some familiar faces for a new generation of scares. The original cast returns to face a new Ghostface killer.
Get ready for a meta-horror experience. Prepare yourself for jump scares, plot twists, and plenty of homages to the original. Don't forget the popcorn!
Heartwarming Stories
If you are not a fan of screams and explosions, fear not! January offers some heartwarming options too. Because sometimes, all we need is a good cry...of joy!
Maybe you can check out Belle. It is an animated film that reinvents Beauty and the Beast in a futuristic setting. Prepare to be visually amazed by its anime-style graphics.
The film follows a shy high school student who creates an avatar.
Through her avatar she becomes a popular singer in the virtual world.Imagine the Lion King meets the Metaverse. Sounds pretty wild, right?
